I'm curious to know why so many people aren't in arms about alcohol (source is from the CDC)...

No question booze kills far more than guns.

The thing is, they see themselves using booze, they don't see themselves owning a gun. It really is that simple.

Each requires a bit of self discipline to be practiced. Keep the booze/gun locked away from kids. Don't use the booze/gun when you aren't emotionally stable. Don't use the booze/gun without planning it first. Every booze safety tip has a corresponding gun safety tip and vice versa.

Maybe they actually think that the results from the lace of self discipline seen in booze is far too high a rate for guns. Unfortunately that is the way they teach it in school, no self discipline is required. So they scream to ban. If they would just teach self discipline the kids would be much better off and so would society as they grow up to be the next generation of parents. But teaching self discipline went out in the 70's when teachers couldn't punish misbehavior and had to socially promote the hellions.

Of course they tried to prohibit booze once. It didn't work very well. They don't realize that all prohibitions will fail. Booze failed. Blue laws failed. Obscenity laws failed. The war on drugs failed. Second amendment restrictions will fail. Prohibitions don't work. Once man knows how to make it, man will make it.

Now if they would go for crazy control, that would make sense. But political process is about doing the most illogical nonsense thing possible. Simply see the fiscal cliff for a refresher course in politics.

Why do we put up with strip searches just to travel? The risk is so remote it makes no sense. We hardened the cockpit. That made sense. The strip search? How long before we have to show papers at checkpoints every few miles when we are driving a car?

As a society we are horrible at quantifying and comparing risk. For proof how many do we kill with booze and cigarettes? That is seen as a normal everyday risk, nothing to get crazy about. How many are injured by knives? Again a normal everyday risk. But mention a gun and people go more ballistic than the projectile!

Look it is obvious our schools have totally failed to teach the skills necessary to be a part of a functional society today. Can't do risk math. Can't do self discipline. Can't do compromise. Can't do economics like a deficit. Can't recognize a ponzi scheme like entitlements.

I don't care who is to blame. Fix the dang thing first. If you need to double homework, add two hours class time a day and make the school year longer by three weeks and need to charge parents with child abuse if their kids watch TV, then that is what it takes. Morons can't run this country, it requires more intelligence to be a responsible citizen.

Wayne LaPierre is right about the media. Ever more shocking violent filth. Worse than porno. It is how they make a buck. Educate to resist this race to the bottom.

Once the firearm is allowed in school, the student will stand to attention and learn. Guy wont snap, he will teach. The inner-city will snap to attention too.

Solves more then one problem. Respect is back were it belongs, the ruler is no longer needed.

What a stroke of genius.
If a kid won't pay attention, Kashick... pow pow pow... "Now, who else doesn't know the square root of nine?"

Righties are riding the crazy express to a place where teachers shoot children.
It seems that inner city children (black kids) need special attention by ID's inclusion of them as a separate group that will snap to attention too.

Some schools wont be about to pony up that kind of cash for a fulltime employee.

I Okay with it if they can afford it. If not, arm the janitor/anyone who can pass the training. But MANY need to be armed.

Hey ID
I thought you were a believer.
Why are you promoting going against the will of your own god? If the invisible man in the clouds wants school kids dead, why do you want to put security in the way?

God's will is god's will. We can do nothing to alter god's will, at least that's what believers in the cloud being accept as fact.
